- Major cardiac events (Cardiac death and acute coronary syndrome) [ Time Frame: 2 years after the CT-scan ]
- All-cause death [ Time Frame: 2 years after the CT-scan ]
- All coronary events (Cardiac death, non-fatal MI, unstable angina requiring hospitalization, late coronary revascularizations) [ Time Frame: 2 years after CT-scan ]
